Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
Yes what your orthopedician has suggested is right and i agree with him.
Its not possible to plaster the hip area.
You can also think why its not possible.
Kindly do as the orthopedician has said and continue the medicines given.
It will definitely take around 2 months.
Best regards.

Agree with the opinion, also suggest to keep on moving the legs while on the bed to prevent deep vein thrombosis of the legs.

Dear sir!
The advice you are given by earlier doctor is right.
In this case the most important is,
-rest at home
-ice compression
-anti inflammatory pain killers
-muscle relaxants
-use of crutches for an unavoidable daily work which gives the effected limb min exertion.
He should be fine in 2 months time!
Regards,
Dr. Sandeep Kumar
